Professional Summary
I am a licensed athletic trainer who prides myself in hard work, dedication and showing
initiative. I believe that athletic training is a profession that is dependent on personal interaction,
detailed communication, and unwavering trust. It is a service industry that requires a balance of
anecdotal treatment, and evidence based medicine practices to create a successful and
individualized plan of care while always keeping the student-athlete at its forefront.
